The final step in breeding programs is registering their new variety with the USDA
Armillaria ostoyae is a gnarly parasitic fungus with long black tentacles that spread out and attack vegetation.Not much was known about what makes the Armillaria ostoyae so hard to kill — until now. A team of researchers led by University of Utah mechanical engineering assistant professor Steven Naleway has been studying the defense mechanism of the tree fungus to better understand what makes it so hearty.
A new high-flavor, shelf-stable grape tomato is the latest variety released from Cornell University aimed at small farms, organic growers and home gardeners.
Managing the United States’ growing wild pig population has become a significant challenge over the past few decades, but new research from the University of Georgia may help landowners and government agencies fine-tune their strategies for limiting crop and property damage caused by the animals.
A great many packages of sliced and vacuum-sealed smoked salmon find their way into Danish shopping carts every year. The vast majority of this smoked salmon is sourced from Norwegian aquaculture farms.
RUDN University biologist presented a theoretical justification for the analysis of soil quality. The theory is based on thermodynamic analysis and can help to calculate the crucial practical parameters, for example, the optimal moisture content or mechanical tillage.
Explaining the value of misshapen vegetables – that they are as healthful as their picture-perfect counterparts and buying them helps reduce food waste – could help improve sales of “ugly” produce, new research suggests.
Researchers from Princeton University and IIASA investigated how different climate scenarios and policy interventions could affect smallholder farmers in Nepal.
